I didn't really know what to expect going into my brand shoot but Valentina had such great energy and helped make it fun and light! I LOVE the studio as well - such a great space and very calming. I found myself trusting her talent in making those photos come alive! Would highly recommend her and can't wait to do another shoot! Less

The reality of my session was far more relaxed and fun than my expectations going into it. Valentina and the hairstylist/make-up artist helped me feel very comfortable from my personalized welcome at the door to Valentina's amazing studio until a hug goodbye at the end of the photo session. They were professionals with an easy-going attitude that quickly soothed my nerves. Valentina's guidance through the entire process before and during the photoshoot was so reassuring; her expertise is invaluable. She leads you each step of the way. I will have to admit, it was a self-pampering experience I didn't realize I needed so badly until it happened!No matter the age or what life has thrown at us, inside we are still the same young woman we have always been growing more uniquely beautiful through our life experiences. At a time in my life when it was most needed, my self-image was lifted as I felt empowered to express myself through the eyes of the photographer's camera lens. It was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to see the photos in hopes of capturing a glimpse of the woman only I truly know! Less

The session exceeded my expectations. It was my first time having a professional photo shoot as an adult so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But from the moment I entered her studio it felt like I was having a close friend taking my photos. The make up artist was incredible and also did my hair exactly how I wanted. Valentina really is an amazing photographer and her love for her art really shines through in her personality. I can’t wait to see the final photos! Less

Her studio space is nothing short of stunning, with elegant yet simple decor and a serene ambiance that perfectly set the tone for the shoot. Valentina’s attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that every corner of her studio feels like a cozy, welcoming haven. And let’s not forget about the snacks – she truly went above and beyond to provide the best selection of treats & coffee, making me feel pampered and cared for throughout the session. Valentina has an exceptional talent for making you feel confident and beautiful in your own skin. She guided me through each pose with such grace and encouragement, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into one of the most empowering and enjoyable moments!

One of the most talented photographers in Austin. Minimalist, clean lines, black and white. Beautiful studio. Definitely worth the trek up to Lakeway. Will do another shoot in the future!! Less

I had such a great time shooting with Valentina! She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and beautiful during my maternity shoot. I loved having my hair and makeup done there!

Valentina did a great job capturing professional photos. I am camera shy, it takes work to get a good shot. Valentina made it seem easy and I am very pleased with the photos. Less

Valentina is such a gift! I scheduled my headshots recently and the entire experience was fantastic! She is a true professional…I was prepared with wardrobe guidelines, colors, and everything to have the best session. I arrived to a beautiful professional studio and a wonderfully inviting atmosphere. Mimosas to start the session followed by a professional makeup artist who masterfully made me “presentable”! Valentina made me, a novice, completely at ease and verbalized very clearly and succinctly how to pose and position myself optimally. Of course, I’m not a professional model and needed guidance. I HIGHLY recommend to all women to have this experience whether for professional or personal needs…I left feeling beautiful and elevated! Plus, I made a great, new friend in Valentina! She is beautiful inside and out! Schedule your session now…you won’t regret it!! Photos are jaw-dropping and breathtaking!! Less

Valentina did an amazing job with my photoshoot! She made me feel comfortable and glamorous—which is something we all don’t get to experience very often in our everyday lives.

What an amazing experience all the way around. It was my first experience doing a photo shoot so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Valentina took our family pictures when our little boy was born and she was wonderful!

It was my daughter's graduation photo shoot but Valentina asked me to wear/bring something nice so I could be photographed too. Valentina did a wonderful job of making me comfortable in my own skin and she made me feel beautiful. She took so many photos and so many poses that it was almost impossible to choose my favorites!

Valentina made me feel so comfortable, beautiful, and valued in front of the camera. I went into my boudoir photo shoot super nervous but she put me at ease and I had an incredible experience! The pictures turned out better than I even could have hoped, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Less

Having someone primp and prepare my make-up and hair allowed for time to settle into the idea of being the focus of the camera. It allowed for my spirit and heart to relax leaving my ego (feelings of not being good enough) to sit on the shelf for awhile. While Valentina shared about her ideas of the session and prepared the room, I began to get excited to change into each outfit and see where the hours moved us. During the photo shoot, I began to fit into my skin knowing that each imperfection was a perfection of my life as my body had carried me thus far. I easily let my body flow as my spirit and heart connected with the camera to create a fun energetic feeling. At the close, I did not want it to end. The freedom of expression and confidence was heightened. I collected my ego from its parking space on a shelf, as I exited the building. I drove in silence allowing myself to connect my body, mind, spirit and heart to extend the confidence and freedom of expression into my overall life. As I look into the mirror today, I am reminded of those few hours, I embrace who I am and who I will become tomorrow. I am excited to share this journey with other women. Less

The entire experience was so comfortable and professional. I felt I had more natural ability because of Valentina’s energy and demeanour. She is great. She has a calming, effortless, and uplifting spirit, and I could not have felt more beautiful at our shoot. I have felt prouder of my pregnancy body and my power. I can’t wait to show off my beautiful photos and I especially can’t wait for my powerful body to birth my baby! Less

All of my insecurities quickly melted away when I got into the studio. The energy there was so encouraging and fun. I immediately felt taken care of by her professional makeup and hair artist meanwhile Valentina helped me put together looks from the clothing I brought. Having a photographer who has a fashion background is quite the added bonus for a styled shoot! I'm overwhelmingly pleased with the images she took. Less

Maternity photo shoot experience exceeded all of my expectations! I felt like a real model. Valentina is very attentive to detail and she is very professional.
